Graph

The ten household groups each consist of 3.8 million households and are arranged according to their capital. The total capital thus is 11389 billion €.

Sum over the balance row (should be close to 0): 3.6 - This much profit (if positive) ten average households (one from each group) make from the interest system (probably at the expense of corporations, the state, or foreign countries) - together 13.79 billion €.

Capital distribution

All num­bers used in the cal­cu­la­tions can be modi­fied through the input fields! The pre­set num­bers are from Hel­mut Creutz’ ar­ti­cle Wie groß ist die Umverteilung durch den Zins? (“How big is the re­dis­tri­bu­tion caused by in­ter­est?”) in Fair­con­o­my no 3/ 2010, and rep­re­sent the si­t­u­a­tion in Ger­many. The gen­er­al table lay­out is also derived from the ta­bles in the ar­ti­cle, but I used a dif­fer­ent model for my graph, a sim­u­la­tion by busi­ness math­e­mati­cian Prof. Dr. Jür­gen Kre­mer.

The pre­set val­ues for the cap­i­tal dis­tri­bu­tion are sim­i­lar to what the Bun­des­zen­­tra­le für Po­li­ti­sche Bil­­dung (Fed­er­al Cen­ter for Po­lit­i­cal Ed­u­ca­tion) pub­lished in 2009 (see graph on the right).

*Interest is calculated as capital times interest rate, the interest burden as expenses times interest component. The expenses are calculated as income minus savings.
